Item Description
3x4". The 1931 W517 baseball set consists of 54 cards. Each player' photograph is centered within a thick border with the player either posed or in portrait style. The player's name, team and league appear on each, as does the card number. As was the case with many of the strip cards of the time, the W517 are blank-backed.

James Emory Foxx, nicknamed "Double X" and "the Beast", was an American professional baseball first baseman who played 20 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies. A tremendous power hitter, Foxx retired with the second most home runs, behind only Babe Ruth, and fifth-most runs batted in (RBI). His greatest seasons were with the Philadelphia Athletics and the Boston Red Sox, where he hit a then-record 30 or more home runs in 12 consecutive seasons and drove in more than 100 runs in 13 consecutive years. Considered one of the greatest hitters in baseball history, Foxx became the ninth player to win a Triple Crown and set a then-record for most MVP awards with three. Jimmie Foxx was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1951.
